Specification ofLetters Patent.

Patented July 28, 1914.

Application filed May 16, 1914. Serial No. 839,146.

'that is to say a cylinder having its axis inclined to its base. By this construction there is secured a crushing action on the clinker or fuel between the peripheryof the cylinder and the casing of the producer, accompanied by a stirring effect on the fuel and a working of the ash down into the water trough. These actions may be enhanced by corrugating the periphery of the cylinder,

whereby-also the ash is prevented from being merely moved in a circle.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a vertical section, partly in elevation,

st-ructed according to the invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan thereof. g

The grate consists of the oblque cylinder a having the conical grate I) mounted on it. In this construction, which is preferred, the

" base of the cylinder is concentric with the casing 0 of the producer. As in the known constructions, the'grate is fixed to the water trough d mounted to rotate on a ball bearing and driven by a worm' gear e. The ashes are removed from this trough by the well known method adopted for a mortar mill having a rotating pan, namely by an inclined fixed scraper f.

g is the usual last pipe. The periphery of the cylindrical portion of the grate may be corrugated as at h. l

Having thus described the nature of the said inventi0n and the best means I know of carrying the same Into practical effect, I

1. In a gas producer of the type herein referred to, a grate the cylindrical portion of which is an oblique cylinder.

2. In a gas producer of the type herein referred to, a casing and a grate the cy1indri-.

cal portion of.which is an oblique cylinder, the base of the said grate=being concentric with the said casing.

3. In a gas producer of the type herein referred to, a grate, a cylindrical portion of the said grate constructed as an oblique cylinder and a corrugated periphery to the said cylindrical portion.

4. In a gas producer of the type herein referred to, a cylindrical portion 'of the said grate constructed as an oblique cylinder and aving its base concentric with the said casing, and a corrugated said cylindrical portion.

In' testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. JACOB A. WEIL.
